Benjamin White – Neuroplasticity and Stroke Rehab: A Roadmap to Functional Recovery
Description
Rewiring the Brain for Better Recovery
More and more, people are coming through our doors for treatment post-stroke. However, we find ourselves torn between promoting “recovery” and the reality of ever-decreasing rehab length of stays, which force us to focus on function alone. This pressure can cause us to resort to quick fixes or shortcuts that may help in the short-term, but may not have proper evidence for long-term recovery. Stroke rehab is not a quick fix. The fact is that we are increasingly pressured to provide evidence that our interventions are working (can someone say G Codes!). The critical necessity for rehabilitation professionals to act decisively, responsibly, and effectively with this growing population cannot be overstated.
Get the roadmap to stroke rehab that actually leads to recovery in this impactful course. Discuss common impairments seen in stroke (e.g., apraxia, neglect, pusher syndrome) and the interventions based on current principles of neuroplasticity to treat these impairments. Evidence-based treatments of the hemiparetic/hemiplegic upper and lower extremities after stroke will be covered as well. By the end of the course, you will walk away with the tools and resources needed to effectively improve outcomes for your stroke patients.
